How to I load a different version of Ubuntu

[Dallas KD4HNX]

I was blown away by how easy it was....   Since I discovered my mistake half way through the install I had ZERO files to save...

I took a gamble and put the 12.04.2 LTS DVD in and it gave me the option to blow away the first install or try to keep some of the Apps...  Well I went for the full install...  The install went quickly...

The only problem, the older version didn't like my video card and I could only get one monitor to work...  So I put in the 12.10 DVD and I'm now back on that version....

Now if I had data and lots of stuff configured the down-grade / up-grade / down-grade would have been a different story...
